Rock Candy Xbox 360 Controller Driver For Windows 10

On a computer running Windows 7, the driver will be downloaded and installed automatically when you connect the controller.

Try the steps from this post. Basically it involves two steps:

  1. Installing xboxdrv from a PPA which contains a more updated version of the package: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grumbel/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xboxdrv
  2. Blacklisting the xpad driver by adding blacklist xpad to your /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf

Here was my solution.

1) Download the source code for xboxdrv from here:http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/

2) I used the 0.87 version: xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7.tar.bz2

3) Extract it using the tar command in a useful directory:

4) Determine the USB ID of the controller by running watch lsusb and then plugging in the controller. The device should pop up note down the ID. Example: 0e6f:011f

5) In the src directory find the xpad_device.cpp file. (Not the hpp version!)

6) Open the file. Inside you should see a list of devices. { GAMEPAD_XBOX360, 0x24c6, 0x5000, 'Razer Atrox Arcade Stick' }, { GAMEPAD_XBOX, 0x045e, 0x0202, 'Microsoft X-Box pad v1 (US)' }, { GAMEPAD_XBOX360_GUITAR, 0x1430, 0x4748, 'RedOctane Guitar Hero X-plorer' }, { GAMEPAD_XBOX_MAT, 0x0738, 0x4540, 'Mad Catz Beat Pad' },

7) Copy one of the entries and modify it to reflect your controller.
{ GAMEPAD_XBOX360, 0x0e6f, 0x011f, 'Rock Candy Gamepad for Xbox 360'},

8) Install required libraries for compilation. For other distros these may be different. This list can also be found in the README.md file included with the tarball.
sudo apt-get install g++ libboost1.42-dev scons pkg-config libusb-1.0-0-dev git-core libx11-dev libudev-dev x11proto-core-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev

9) Uninstall xboxdrv if you already have it installed.
sudo apt-get remove xboxdrv

10) cd to the extracted xboxdrv folder and run scons.cd /home/foxyv/Downloads/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7scons

11) After scons is done configuring the build, run make.

12) When make is finished building, run sudo make install to install the compiled application.

13) Plug in your controller! You may need to restart the xboxdrv daemon using sudo service xboxdrv restart
